I had a video problem after upgrading from Ubuntu 10 to 11.04. The icons
kept flashing. Also the GL screensavers in Xscreensaver eg Engine would
not work. The video is NVIDIA 173.14.30 installed by Synaptic with a
GeForce FX5500 card. The eventual solution was very easy.
I made a Ubuntu 11.04
I read from somewhere that the current stable Nvidia drivers are not
compatible with Xserver 1.10. And just like Harry mentioned, the latest
beta drivers only have preliminary support for Xserver 1.10. I guess the
only thing we can do is wait for updates, and complain about broken
beta/alpha
xserver 1.10 doesn't exist yet, and the ABI it's going to use won't be
frozen until 1.10 RC2 (a.k.a 1.9.99.902) is released. Until then, the
NVIDIA driver can't assume that the ABI won't change in the future.
I pinged the people responsible for releases, but didn't hear anything
back. The
Sarvatt nvidia blob compatible with xserver 1.10 in x-updates and
edgers now, needs IgnoreABI in your xorg.conf ServerFlags though.
** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu)
Status: Triaged = Fix Released

The driver now works with the new beta-driver ver 270.18
But the glx extension seems to be broken at least for me.
xorg.O.log attached
[ 7.733] (II) LoadModule: glx
[ 7.733] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/extra-modules/libglx.so
[ 7.764] (II) Module glx: vendor=NVIDIA Corporation

Yes I can confirm this error occuring with the nvidia-current_270.18 and
xserver 1.9.99.901 (1.10 rc1).
GLX module shared object (libglx.so) does not support server ABI and loading
fails.
This happens even if IgnoreABI is used.
If IgnoreABI is not used in xorg.conf, gdm and x are not loaded
Anyway this drivers offers a preliminary support for xserver 1.10, not
full support.
